A Confession
Written by Lucian Diamond Stonefield of the Diamond Kingdom
I am the great Lucian Diamond Stonefield of the Diamond Kingdom. I am the next in line to the throne, or at least I was before I was found guilty of killing the King. And this is my letter of confession. As long as I am breathing, no one will ever read this, that way no one can definitively know of what I did. I don't regret it, even if he was my father. The old man may have started out with good intentions, but was too timid and unwilling to do what needed to be done. The longer he continued to rule the kingdom, the weaker he made it. First with that Ardos Concordant, then with the Council... He wasn't strong enough to defeat our enemies. But I am. And even if I no longer have a legal right to the throne, it will be mine. No matter what it takes. I. Will. Be. King.
